So, you want to be a girl who can handle her own. Don’t be modest, the comfort we achieve from being able to take care of ourselves is a heady feeling; the feeling that everyone has the power to achieve. As a female we are under a lot of pressure when it comes to standing on our own.

How we adapt to life or our attitude is usually shaped in childhood and modeled after someone who has influenced us in our formative years as well as our natural bent or personality. If we saw some members of the family give up easily or rail against change, we either decided to follow suit or be the opposite. To please parents and other important adults, most children try hard to be good and receive approval, not bad with punishment or discipline.
